Chapter 381: Slam Dunk Starts
Every year the DBA starts the regular season in mid-November, and people who pay attention to Dragon Basketball find that there is an extra group of people on the game this year, this group of people are holding signs that say "On November 24th, Slam Dunk and you will see you all over", and there are many billboards posted under the guardrail that say this passage. It would be nice if it was just one team that advertised it, but at the end of the week, it was unusual to see every game.
If the audience watching the game at this point is still just paying attention, then every time the audience who watches the live broadcast can listen to the advertising slogan suddenly increased by Zhou Pingxu, who is in charge of the commentary, at the beginning and end of the show. The pervasive advertisement made the audience remember the name "Slam Dunk".
On the night of the 24th, there were many people who had never seen a manga sitting in front of the TV waiting for the anime to start, and they wanted to see what kind of manga would be officially promoted.
"Slam Dunk" is a childhood memory for many people and has influenced generations of people.
Even after more than ten years, the two invincible inspirational songs "Until the End of the World" and "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" are still often mentioned, often played and sung at some comic conventions, and their popularity has endured, and together with the theme song "Cruel Angel's Action Plan" of "EVA" and "Butter-Fly" of "Digimon", they form the strongest echo of boyhood.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Rukawa Kaede, Haruko, Gorilla and others are remembered by countless audiences, and slam dunk has also become synonymous with blood, the most realistic basketball animation in the comic industry, and now it is finally time to be released.
Wang Ming put down all the work in his hand and sat in front of the computer, the program "Joking History" was playing on the huge screen, and now it is about the origin of the surname of the Dragon Kingdom.
"Don't you have a job?"
Zhou Haomiao let go of the life-size wedding dress saber in his arms, put on slippers and walked behind Wang Ming: "Longshi set?" Don't you have confidence in your animation? ”
Wang Ming shook his head. How could he not have confidence, his confidence was about to burst.
"Slam Dunk", like "EVA", is a work that will never fail. As long as the Chinese people still like basketball, have fantasies about basketball, look forward to winning the championship, and want to show their style in the world and show the demeanor of a great country, then this drama will not fail, because this comic represents the needs of the people and can make up for the spiritual emptiness of people who live richly, and this alone makes the animation invincible.
By the time the old professor of "Joking History" finished speaking, more than ten minutes had passed, and Zhou Haomiao brought back two set meals from the cafeteria, both of which were very cheap, since this guy started making money, he ate this kind of vegetarian set meal without oil star every day, and it was also called "for good health", when it was his turn to bring food, he chose those with a lot of meat, and said what nonsense that "a good boss should treat his subordinates well", for this kind of shameless person, he can only use the iron fist of justice to kill one less person.
Wait while eating. Zhou Haomiao was an idle person, and asked: "What do you think the ratings of "Slam Dunk" should be?" ”
"What a businessman's character, the problem is so real."
Wang Ming smiled bitterly: "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”
From a personal point of view, of course, the higher the ratings of the work, the better, but with Wang Ming's current status, there are some things that cannot be said nonsense, and if you say it low, you look down on these producers under your hands, and if you say it high, it will bring them more pressure, after all, what Chinese people are best at is blind thinking.
Basketball made Cheng Lei and Yao Gang friends who talked about everything, and the two formed an interest basketball team, recruited a lot of helpers, and made a lot of fame in this stadium near their home.
Under the leadership of the two, everyone on the team likes to read the comics of "Slam Dunk", and today the fourteen people from the interest basketball team gathered together and came to Cheng Lei's living room to wait for the animation to start.
They had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
The popularity of "Slam Dunk" is destined to be animated, and due to the slowdown in the serialization of comics on "Wildfire" from July, many people predict that it will be for animation preparation. After waiting for more than ten months, now I can finally see it.
There are many people like the two of them who have formed an indissoluble bond with basketball because of comics, and they are all sitting in front of the TV at the moment, waiting for the anime to start.
Of course, there are some people like Wang Ming, sitting in front of the computer and watching animations, but the computer screen is worse than TV, as long as the conditions allow, it is better to watch TV.
Spotlights illuminate the entire arena, electronic instruments record the scores of the game, cheering crowds fill the entire space, waving arms, ink on faces, whistles, friction sounds linger in the ears, and the four big characters of slam dunk suddenly appear in the center of the screen.
The moment they saw this court, people familiar with the professional arena recognized that this is the holy place of basketball, the saint of the NBA once a year? Poplar Stadium.
Poplar Court is only open during the NBA Finals, and it is a place that all basketball players yearn for, but no one from the Dragons has yet entered this basketball mecca. Seeing the opening of "Slam Dunk", people who love basketball are burning, and many people secretly decide: Poplar Court, waiting for me.
Wearing a red jersey is the familiar Xiangbei basketball team, and the purple and black is the Lingnan basketball team. In the prelude to the rising up, their figures shuttled on the poplar court, the brown and red basketballs were poured into the basket again and again, and sweat and roar roamed the entire court.
"Under the dazzling sun, I ran through the streets,
You slapped me on the shoulder as usual......"
Although the painting style has become harmonious, the proportions of the characters are closer to the modern era, and the picture sense is more realistic, I still can't forget the tough guy painting style in my mind......
"Wang Ming, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, Zhou Haomiao, who was sitting next to him eating, saw a tear slipping down the almost untouched package, and he said in disbelief: "Why are you crying?" ”
"Nothing."
Wang Ming didn't wipe away the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes, just smiled and said: "The creator is the easiest person to bring into the feelings of the work, and it is also the person who feels the most deeply about the work. ”
Zhou Haomiao looked at Wang Ming's side face deeply, and didn't say anything, but his eyes became more determined.
At the end of the OP, the last picture shows Sakuragi wearing the No. 10 jersey of Xiangbei and wearing a championship cape, which ignites many people who like basketball. The championship cape is a cape that will only be given out if you win at Poplar Stadium, is this a sign that Sakuragi will play in the NBA and lead the team to victory at the end of the manga?
The audience will wait and see.
